In addition, certain sections of articles which had to remain out-of-universe to identify them as Star Wars articles on Wikipedia were "wookified" to fit the in-universe perspective of the wiki (for example, the removal of text like "was a character in the Star Wars saga" and so on). However, other sections of the wiki cover actors, artists, real-life companies, and culture in an out-of-universe perspective. Since its foundation, many more changes to the wiki's Manual of Style have been made.
